The next time that you are at the dealer take a walk over to the parts counter and buy two quarts of the BMW oil. Keep them in your garage for the next time that this happens (and it will, being a normal part of car ownership).

Just make sure you get an oil that's BMW certified. You can't just use any 0w40 or 5w30...there are only a few specifc oils that meet the standard. And the only two I've ever actually seen are the BMW oil and the Mobil.

They even make a cool little bag to hold the bottle in when you keep it in the car. Maybe the OP should get that too.
